The British actor has kept a low profile ever since Stewart, his Twilight co-star, admitted July 25 to having an affair with herSnow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Pattinson has yet to address the scandal publicly.
A rep for Pattinson previously told The Hollywood Reporter, “Cosmopolis is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting. No confirmed engagements have been canceled. Any reports to the contrary are inaccurate.”
Stewart’s confession, meanwhile, came after Us Weekly ran photos of Stewart and Sanders in compromising positions.
“This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry,” Stewart said in a statement.
